If your child is 7 years old (or will be at the time of reception of the sacraments) or older and has not been baptized, they will need to go through a separate process called RCIC (Rite of Christian Initiation for Children).

In this program your children will be prepared over a 2 year period to receive the Sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation and First Holy Communion and they will also be prepared to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation as well.

Baptism, Confirmation and First Holy Communion will be received at the Easter Vigil Mass and First Reconciliation will be received about a month later.

There is an expectation that Parents and children will attend:
- Attend all scheduled Family Homework Nights.
- Attend Mass weekly (Saturday Vigil or Sunday) as a family.
- Attend Monthly Family Adoration Nights.
- Attend any and all Rites pertaining to the RCIA/RCIC programs.

As well as:
- Attend Family Rosary Night
- Attend the 3 scheduled, of the 6, Stations of the Cross
